3 <br />(3) “Total potable water production” means all potable water that enters <br />into a water supplier’s distribution system, excluding water placed into <br />storage and not withdrawn for use during the reporting period, or water <br />exported outsider the supplier’s service area. <br />(4) “Urban water supplier” means a supplier that meets the definition set <br />forth in Water Code section 10617, except it does not refer to suppliers <br />when they are functioning solely in a wholesale capacity, but does <br />apply to suppliers when they are functioning in a retail capacity. <br /> (b) In furtherance of the promotion of water conservation each urban water <br />supplier shall: <br />(1) Provide prompt notice to a customer whenever the supplier obtains <br />information that indicates that a leak may exist within the end-user’s exclusive control. <br />(2) Prepare and submit to the State Water Resources Control Board by the 15th of <br />each month a monitoring report on forms provided by the Board. The monitoring report <br />shall include the amount of potable water the urban water supplier produced, including <br />water provided by a wholesaler, in the preceding calendar month and shall compare that <br />amount to the amount produced in the same calendar month in 2013. The monitoring <br />report shall specify the population served by the urban water supplier, the percentage of <br />water produced that is used for the residential sector, descriptive statistics on water <br />conservation compliance and enforcement efforts, and the number of days that outdoor <br />irrigation is allowed, and monthly commercial, industrial and institutional sector use. <br />The monitoring report shall also estimate the gallons of water per person per day used by <br />the residential customers it serves. <br />(c)(1) To prevent the waste and unreasonable use of water and to meet the <br />requirements of the Governor’s April 1, 2015 Executive Order, each urban water supplier <br />shall reduce its total potable water production by the percentage identified as its <br />conservation standard in this subdivision. Each urban water supplier’s conservation <br />standard considers its service area’s relative per capita water usage. <br />(2) Each urban water supplier whose source of supply does not include <br />groundwater or water imported from outside the hydrologic region in which the water <br />supplier is located, and that has a minimum of four years’ reserved supply available may, <br />submit to the Executive Director for approval a request that, in lieu of the reduction that <br />would otherwise be required under paragraphs (3) through (10), the urban water supplier <br />shall reduce its total potable water production by 4 percent for each month as compared <br />to the amount used in the same month in 2013. Any such request shall be accompanied <br />by information showing that the supplier’s sources of supply do not include groundwater <br />or water imported from outside the hydrologic region and that the supplier has a <br />minimum of four years’ reserved supply available. <br />(3) Each urban water supplier whose average July-September 2014 R-GPCD was <br />less than 65 shall reduce its total potable water production by 8 percent for each month as <br />compared to the amount used in the same month in 2013. <br />(4) Each urban water supplier whose average July-September 2014 R-GPCD was <br />65 or more but less than 80 shall reduce its total potable water production by 12 percent <br />for each month as compared to the amount used in the same month in 2013. <br />10.A. - Page 17
